KREISLER GREAT VIOLINIST TO GIVE A RECITAL IN THIS CITY APRIL 4didiii IN FRITZ KREISLER, the great vio linist, who is to be heard In this city April , is found the qualities which made such artists as Joachim. Wil helmj and Paderewskl popular with the general musical public. They are intel lectual, with sensuous beauty of tone and genius. Krelsler is a powerful mu sician who awes you by the command of his art. He has the most wonderful tone heard in this -country since the visit of WllhelmJ. One New York critic hit the mark A ST. PATRICK'S "MRS. FEED Xi OLSON. SOPRANO. One of the singers at the St. Patrick's eve concert given last Thurs- day night at the hall of St. Mary's Church, Albina, was Mrs. Fred L Olson, soprano, who was born in San Francisco, CaL She has a soprano voice of excellent quality, with arrange of two and a half octaves, and Nature has been kind to Mrs. Olson in giving her willingness and confi dence, and leaving her the possessor of that sweetness of grace and man ner that is necessary for success. Mrs. Olson received her musical edu cation from Mrs. Ellen Kinsman Mann, now of Chicago, and was a mem ber of Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church choir when Mrs. Mann was in charge of that choir. While receiving excellent instruction from Mrs. Mann, it was under the direction of Leo Charles Sparks, now of Dresden, Germany, that Mrs. Olson made great progress toward a prom- s lslng future as a vocalist She is still an earnest and painstaking student. when he said Krelslqr's tone was so marvelous that if you did not look, at him when he played you might think there were ten violins playing in uni son. His playing Is as near artistic perfection as one can imagine a human I being reaching. Ana he seems equally at home in all schools. He plays Bach superbly and yet he plays the works of , , , . l the modern school with a finish, and, where "needed, with a delicacy that is unrivalled. You feel when hearing Krelsler that he is an artist who could never fail. Krelsler fairly overwhelms you by his mastery of his Instrument. You glory In music when you hear him. You are thrilled with the realization of what music Is. You marvel that a man can do so much and you feel that you want, him to play and play and never i stop. Krelslers recital here will be i Under thA direction of Misses Lois Steers and Wynn Coman. Will Give "Trlstam and Isolde." "Tristam and Isolde," which Mrs. Raymond Brown will present In lecture-recital, Saturday evening, March 25. at Unitarian Chapel, has been called "the high song of love," and is con sidered Wagner's greatest work. The great duet of the second act and Isolde's Love's Death, at the close, have never been surpassed as pure musical creations. Mrs. Brown needs no In troduction to Portland, her delightful Interpretations of these music-dramas on former occasions having maade her I many friends here. DOMAIN OF MUSIC. Mra.

Is quoted In the London Magazine as saying that a man or nomaa of high nervous temperament alone can succeed as a lyrico-dramatlc artist. In the great op eras a severe strain Is put upon the principal singers, for while they are portraying love, hate or revenge the two latter sometimes In a whirlwind, so to speak, of orchestral music and song they have tbe whole time to watch the conductor, keep time and rhythm, and fall not at the same time in reproducing with perfect accuracy the composer's music The nervous tension, therefore, it Is obvious; must be far greater orl the operatic artist than it Is on the actor, who only has to think ol his action and his words, while the actor-singer has to think of action, words and music In the proper exposition of these lies that which con tributes to success." It Is about settled lhat the music to be sung In connection with the series of Con gresses and Conferences on educational and religious lines Sunday afternoons; during a portion of the' Lewis and Clark Exposition, shall consist of: Oratorios "Messiah" (Han del). "Elijah" (Mendelssohn). "Messe Sol emnclle" (Gounod), and "Stabat Mater" (Rossini), and also a "T Deum" (Sullivan). Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer will sing the so prano solos In "Stabat Mater," "Elijah" and the "Te Deum." This will be welcome news to the many warm friends of this favorite Pacific Coast soprano. This musical festival at the Exposition Is largely due to the bard work done In its bebalf In advance by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, pastor of the Temple Beth Israel. Dr. Wise has cultured taste and fine Judgment In musical matters, and In this direction be Is ably helped by Mrs. Wise. Already musical people In this and other Ore gon and Washington -cities are talking of making up parties to visit San Francisco next month to be present at the season of grand opera In that city by the Conrled Metropolitan Opera Company, of New Tork City. The reper toire Is a brilliant one. What with "Rlgolet to." the double bill, the "Huguenots." Lucis," "La Giaconda." to disclose the marvelous qualities of Mr. Conried's world-famed singers of the Italian portion of the company and "Parsifal." "Die Flederroaus" and "Die Mels terslnger." an the- sensations of the German side of the grand opera uon, San Francisco will be fortunte. It U yet a mooted question as to which side of the season will present the most remarkable aspect. "Parsifal." of which there will be hree performances, and In which Madame Nordlca and Madame Frem stad and company will Interpret the principal roles, has been the greatest operatic and scenic f-""" ""- me musical worm nas Known for the last two seasons. Caruso, the tenor, will be a big drawing card. The company will play this week in Minneapolis, where it will give two performances, thence to Omaha, where two performances will be given, then to Kansas City for two pc?rormancey, and rumtaa v.iij- ine company win proceed directly to San Francisco.

According to the majority of people who heard Creatore's band It Is one of the great bands of the world, and Creatore Is a grand but somewhat eccentric conductor. Others present at the three concerts, and speaking as professional musicians, say that the band "Is not what it Is cracked up to be and they sneer at Creatore's mannerisms as a conductor. So the world goes. It would be something wonderful If we were all agreed on everything. Speaking conservatively. It was a rare musical privilege to hear Crea tore's band, and the pleasant memories of the concerts will gratefully linger In i our minds for months. Of course. It was a Latin band, and the musicians In it were Latins. They played as If on fire, and gave a for tissimo that was a young tornado, as a fortissimo reaching to a climax ought to be. If Anglo-Saxons played In that manner they would be considered crazy, but such manner isms and methods Illustrated by Creatore are not In Anglo-Saxon blood. Here is the or chestration of Creatore's band: Flutes, two; one piccolo; oboes, two; one English horn; aaxophones, four; bassoons, two; bass clari nets, fifteen; twelve B flats, and thre E fiats: French horns, three; trumpets, four; fluegel horns, two; E flat alto horns, three; solo trombones, two; trombones, three; one bass trombone; baritones, two; one E flat tuba; B Sat tubas, two; tympanl; small drum; base drum; gong, and. harp soloist. An other thing: Creatore roared at his musician. Inspiring them to a climax. American mu sicians would not permit this, neither would they blow their Instruments until they got red In the face, and finished in a condition suggesting physical collapse. Such excessive work, however, seems to agree with Creatore. He is not thin or cadaverous, and looks stout. He shakes his hair as If It, were a mane. Wonder what would happen were he suddenly to become bald?

Modes Patterns Are the Best Traffic in Child Wives in Chicago ITALIAN BRIDES ARE IMPORTED FOR AGED HUSBANDS PROFESSOR DISCOVERS NEW KIND OF TOBACdO if if CHICAGO, March K. Special Corre epondence.) A school, or at least a peclal room, for Italian child wives will In all probability be established by the Board of Education as the result of the Investigations made durfie tie last week by the compulsory education 'depart ment. The Investigation so far has re vealed the ystartllng fact that 301 girls under the age of 18 have been married In Chicago In the last IS months, and that nearly one-third of this number were under 14 when the wedding bells were rung for them. In consequence of the revelations, the question of a state law to prohibit girls marrylns under the age of 18 Is being seriously agitated by the child-saving bureau atjd other charitable organizations. The investigation also la said to have proved the existence of a traffic in child wives between the Italians of this and the old country. The most common prac tice, Is for a father to migrate to America, find a husband for a young daughter left behind, and offer bis child In marriage to a favored friend, if he will pay the cost of her transportation from Italy to this side. In this way the father gets his family reunited without a great expendi ture of money. In some cases the suitor Is asked to pay the fare of the mother and any other children in the family as part of . the marriage contract. In connection with the matter Secretary Bodine, of the compulsory education de partment, in a special report, says: "The marriage system in Chicago Is a farce, and the weak marriage law of Illi nois is responsible for many of the di vorces In Chicago. Marriage licenses are as easy to obtain as a dog tag, and the only material difference Is that it costs 50 cents more to keep a dog than It does to be taxed for marrying a girl." In many Instances where child wives were found It was also revealed that the husband was old enough to be the father of the bride, and In several instances mothers under 20 were found to have half a dozen children. Professor Finds New Tobacco. Professor Frederick Starr, of the Uni versity of Chicago, the eminent anthrop ologist, has Introduced a new kind of to bacco on the university campus, and his experiments have caused the new "poison squad," as It has been dubbed, using It to "see" many wierd things. The weed "in toxicates the eyes." "When Professor Starr was In 2Iexico recently he found a big mountain Indian smoking the "raarlhumana" as it is called. The native told of wonderful vis Ions that came with the smoke, and the' energetic university Instructor at once obtained a lot of the "dope" and brought it back to Chicago with him. On his return, In casting about for good subjects on whom to experiment, the pro fessor selected "Big Ed" Perry, the agri culturist, wfio won fame on the gridiron last Fall In many a hard-fought battle. "When the giant youth smoked, the pro fessor watched him Intently, having In his hand at the time the notes he had taken of the. Indian's experiences. Ac cording to this written version, the In dian had seen the happy hunting: grounds, where "tortillas" and plantain were pre pared for his meal by a swarm df beau tiful Indian maidens. Perry saw nothing like that.

Hundreds of .men. women and. chil dren discussed with excitement this week what is said to be the first actual discovery of petroleum wells In Chi cago. The wells were found In tna heart of one of the most thickly popu lated sections of the West Side, and only a short distance from the busi ness center, and scores of buckets con taining' the stuff were carried away by those attracted to the scene. The discovery was made by work men excavating for a store building'. "When the men had sone down only eight feet the odor of oil was detected, and a foot deeper the petroleum fas found in large quantities. Experts say they have known for a long time that there are oil wells under Chicago, but that It is not to be found In sufflclently large quantities to make it valuable to the company of which Mr. Rockefeller is the head. And In this connection it Is recalled that In the earlier days many stories were told of gTeat cav erns lylngr under the city. "While many of these are partly filled "with water, the most of them are empty. Has Shekel Paid to Judas. Harry Serlis, general agent of a dis tilling company at the stockyards, has in his possession a coin which Is said to be one of the five shekels preserved, from among the 30 pieces which the high priests of Jerusalem paid to Judas Iscariot for the betrayal of Christ. He came into possession of the coin six years ago, but it was only within the last lew days that Its existence in Chi cago became generally known. It is almost as large as a half-dollar piece, but somewhat thicker. On one side is a sort of a chalice or cup, from which, a plant or s"hrub branches forth. On the, reverse side are Jewish words meaning "Shekel Jerusalem. The coin is said by experts to bear a striking resemblance to the "mysteri ous fifth shekel" that was stolen sev eral years agd from Marx Fisher, the wealthy coin collector of New Tork. This is said to have been at one time the property of Godfrey of Jerusalem, and other crowned heads have been its VI A DAME SAXE i THE CELEBRATED SKIN SPECIALIST Has returned and is located at 121 Thirteenth street, corner "Wash ington, where she will treat, as heretofore, every known "blemish of the face without the use of surgery, parafiine, injections,, electricity or masks.

Millionaires' Club's Waiters Strike. The cold, selfish calculations of sor did waiters marred the swell, luncheon of the Millionaires' Club one day this week. The home of this exclusive or ganization, the members of which are worth more than a billion dollars, was only recently opened, and the gentle men who know more about money than anything else, were in readiness to re gale themselves with an unusually In viting menu which the chef had pre pared, when the announcement came that the waiters had struck, and that the guests would have to go elsewhere for their mid-day meal, unless they chose to "sling their own hash." And, this Is what some of the members did do. The vast majority, however, made a gentle retreat to other club3 of which they are members. The trouble came over the superintendent proclaim ing the edict that the waiters .would not be allowed to , handle the money of the guests that the guests must pay their checks In person to the cashier. As "tips"' had previously amounted anywhere from $1 to $10, the waiters considered the new order was a direct thrust at perquisites. At the Women's Union. Miss Emma C.
